The papers were ordered filed.
Natural Gas as AN nIuminant.

Natural Gas as An Illuminant.
THE MATTER DISCUSSED AGAIN.
When the report of the Gas Trustees
upon the petition of certain manufacturers
to use natural gas as an illuminant, as pub
lished in the REGISTER few days ago,
came up and had been read, Mr.. Caldwell
thought the report from the Trustees was
hardly what was contemplated when the
papers were referred. He thought the city
had power to do as she pleased i'll the mat
ter, without asking for special enabling
act from the Legislature, and he thought
the matter should not be dropped in. the
manner it would be should the report of
Trustees be merely received and filed. lie
moved to refer the petition and the report
of the Trustees to the Committee on Ordi-
nances for report.
Mr.. Cruise WAS opposed to the reference
to the committee. If Council began to
grant things to manufacturers it would be
hard to tell where to stop The Council
was about to expire, and he hoped the
matter would be allowed to 90 over. He
doubted if a report could be gotten from
the committee, anyhow, before Council
should expire,
MIR Stanley favored the use of gas by
manufacturers, as the Trustees acknOwl-
edged the granting OF the prayer Of the pc
titioners would not interfere with the gas
works or the value of the plant owned by
the city.
Mr.. Caldwell, replying particularly to
the remarks of Mr.. Cruise, said he was
very much in favor of granting everything
possible to our manufacturers, for upon
their prosperity depended the prosperity
of the city. He spoke tOrcibly and at con
siderable length in support of his motion
to refer.
He was followed by President Sweeney,
who cleared up certain misapprehensions
existing in regard to the pending PROPOSE
ton, and argued in favor of the motion of
Mr.. Caldwell, illustrating the vital i'm
portance of manufacturing establishments
to city, and arguing that they ought to
be benefited as far as possible.
Mr.. Delbrugge thought members would
be unjust to their constituents in voting
for the use of natural gas by manufactur-
ers. The Constitution forbid class discrim-
inatiOn. He moved to amend by referring
to the City Solicitor.
Mr.. Cruise thought the Committee on
Ordinances was highly improper commit
tee, because its chairman was an attorney
for the Natural Gas Company.
Half dozen gentlemen continued the
debate, and each wound up by making an
amendment or substitute, Mr.. Healy
winding up by naming 4 reference to the
Committee on Police, amid laughter. The
motion of Mr.. Cruise to refer TO the City
Solicitor was lost, ayes 8, noes 9, as fol-
lows: Ayes, MeSsrs. Butts, Delbrugge,
Healy, Miller, Picket, Smith, and Voeck-
ler-S. Noes, Messrs. Caldwell, era ~fOrd,

Weir, Weisgerber and Mr.. Prcsident-9.
The motion to refer to the Committee on
Lights was also lost, ayes Z, noes 10, Mr..
Butts changing his vote. The motion OF
Mr. Caldwell to refer to the Committee on
Ordinances was then adopted, ayes 10,

To t6s Editor Of he Register.
SIR:-YeS, il would be a COOL idea to
cxOnerate Operator Brogan and give him
another chance. Perhaps his next mistake
will occur with more important trains next
time and the destruction of life and prop
erty would result more disastrously, as
such people are apt to forget that they have
orders for trains at any time. The conduc-
tors of : and Sc asked the operator how
train 1O3, which was the only train we had
10 contend with, was, and he said 1T was
on time and gave , and S6 white block,
which gave and SO a right to pass. If
he would keep lOaterS out of his office and
attend to his business, he would not make
such mistakes. lie has left openings for
such wrecks rs occurred at Triadelphia on

CHANGED to be in the Office and called his

TWO ASSIGNMENTS

Made by Prominent BeIlaire business
Men.
Mr.. Adam Faupel, the well-known boot
and shoe dealer of Bellaire, and late DEM
ocratic candidate for Sheriff, made an as
Segment, Monday, to James c. Tallman,
Esq, for the benefit of his creditors. The
assignment was made to James c. Tall
man, Esq, about o'clock in the after
noon, and the store was closed. The amount
of the liabilities are not definitely known,
but are variously estimated at from 81 900
to S, 900. His assets will much more
than cover the largest figures, unless ter
rible sacrifice is made, but it seems he
was unable to realize in time to meet
January settlements. Mr.. Faupel has
perhaps the largest stock of any dealer OF
his kind in this city, and his inability to
tide over the recent reverses is the cause
of sincere regret among his friends. 1t is
to be hoped that he will be able TO regain
his feet and continue business.

"R. ". GiHeland, Esq, Chairman Of Special
Committee Of the Council Of the City Of
Wheeling:
DEAR SIR am directed 10y the
Board of Directors of the Citizens Railway
Company to say to your committee that
the Board does not deem it proper that
they should take action upon the question
of the proposed extension of the railway
track Our official term is abOdt to expire,
and a new Board of Directors will take
charge of the affairs of the Company. We
think that question of such magnitude
and involving such large expenditure
by the Company, especially as no work
could be done on the extension, even if
undertaken, until the end of winter,
should be decided by the new Board of
Directors, which should have to Construct
the additional track and operate the same.
Our Company are earnestly DESTROYS Of
doing all things reasonable and in its pres
ent indebted condition, within its means,
toward the accommodation of the citizens
Of South Wheeling and the general public,
and hopes and expects to very soon inaug-
urate and put into effect new measures and
arrangements to that end.
''Our Board OF Directors desire to thank
your committee for the considerate, court
eous and amicable spirit shown by your
committee at the joint meeting ofconferees.
